Welcome to the Ruthlessly Hopeful’s Profiles in Hope!

I hope the people, science and resources I write about inform, inspire and motivate you to be more hopeful and do more good.

I profile people who are doing good and spreading hope. I highlight how they remain hopeful in the face of reality, overcome challenges, persevere and remain hopeful. Thank you for sharing these posts with others.
